Introduction

 

I think that Nate will have alot of potential and relieved that he has arrived here safe and sound.  I am very thankful to Libuse for allowing him to come to Australia.  Nate is co-owned with myself and Bordogue Kennels in QLD.

Both Gandalf and Amys have strengths in many areas including some strong types in their pedigrees and dogs I have long admired.   I was able to see Amys in person, she is a small female, but very typey, just what I was looking for.  I was also lucky to see Gandalfs mother, Andorra, in France.  She was just stunning, competing in the senior female class and winning First Place !   I have added photos of her at the bottom of the page.

On Nate’s fathers side, we have Euro Champ and French Champ, Dillen van de Paterhoek, half brother to our male, Roman and full brother to Enferno van de Paterhoek.  And the handsome Aluca D´Origine Beaunabuc appears twice in the pedigree, the sire of Andora and the sire of Bintje van de Paterhoek.  Aluca is often noted for his head type and that of his fathers.

On his mothers side, we have one of my favourite females and daughter of Sodium, Vendetta de la Tour Gelee (who's sister Vachette is just as stunning). Ulthaar is a large built beautiful male who also appeals to me. And I have long admired the brother to Roumba de l'Etang sur la Touze, Percival.

So for me this is a pedigree that I can hopefully work with to improve on type for the future, both as an outcross or for line breeding, depending on the female.

Attributes

 

I was able to see Nate in person at 4.5 mths old when I visited Libuse’s home in September 2008.  At 4.5 months, Nate was showing to be a very nice type, holding together well and looking as a youngster should of his age, so he still has room for all the normal changes in length and width proportions.

 

He has as nice deep stop, good wrinkle and expression, good strength of muzzle and a nice underjaw.  Good bone and good rear angulation.

 

With his breeding, I expect a strong type in the head, but not overly heavy in bone or massive in size.  But we will see !
